Pursuant to North Carolina Public Records Law (G.S. §§ 132-1 through 132-10), I hereby request the following documents:

Records related to citizen complaints (allegations of misconduct) made against UNCW Police Department officers and officials since January 1, 2013 including but not limited to logs, databases and spreadsheets.

If it is your position that any portion of the requested records is exempt from disclosure, we request that you provide it with an index of those documents as required under Vaughn v. Rosen, 484 F.2d 820 (D.C. Cir. 1973), cert. denied, 415 U.S. 977 (1972).

If you determine that any portion or portions of this request cannot be fulfilled as promptly as any other portion of this request, we ask that you first fulfill whatever portion of this request you can fulfill within 10 business days and then fulfill the remainder of the request as promptly as possible.

We are happy to work with your office to make this request as simple as possible and eliminate unnecessary work. Please contact us before you incur labor costs or the use of information technology resources beyond those that you have already established for reproduction of the information requested. We can probably find an efficient solution that serves the public interest while minimizing your effort.

The requested documents will be made available to the general public, and this request is not being made for commercial purposes.

We would prefer the request filled electronically, by e-mail attachment if available or CD-ROM if not.

I wanted to follow up on the following Public Records Law request, copied below, and originally submitted on Nov. 3, 2017. Please let me know when I can expect to receive a response, or if further clarification is needed.

Thanks for your help, and let me know if further clarification is needed.

Thank you for your patience on this matter. I have attached documents responsive to your request below. Redactions have been made of the names of the officer/employee, and to the name of the complainant for CC Case Number CC-16-08 in the 2016 Log, due to their confidential nature under NCGS §126-22 of the NC Personnel Act. Thank you.
